8- Safety and General Information

Safety and General Information

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT

OPERATION. READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING

YOUR PHONE.

The information provided in this document supersedes the general

safety information in user guides published prior to

December 1, 2002.

Exposure To Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it

receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with

your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level

at which your phone transmits.

Your Motorola phone is designed to comply with local regulatory

requirements in your country concerning exposure of human

beings to RF energy.

Operational Precautions

To assure optimal phone performance and make sure human

exposure to RF energy is within the guidelines set forth in the

relevant standards, always adhere to the following procedures.

External Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or Motorola-approved replacement antenna.

Unauthorised antennas, modifications, or attachments could

damage the phone.

Do NOT hold the external antenna when the phone is IN USE.

Holding the external antenna affects call quality and may cause the

phone to operate at a higher power level than needed. In addition,

use of unauthorised antennas may result in non-compliance with

the local regulatory requirements in your country.

UG.GSM.E550.book Page 8 Friday, August 13, 2004 3:29 PM

Safety and General Information - 9

Phone Operation

When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your phone as you

would a wireline telephone.

Body-Worn Operation

To maintain compliance with RF energy exposure guidelines, if you

wear a phone on your body when transmitting, always place the

phone in a Motorola-supplied or approved clip, holder, holster,

case, or body harness for this phone, if available. Use of

accessories not approved by Motorola may exceed RF energy

exposure guidelines. If you do not use one of the body-worn

accessories approved or supplied by Motorola, and are not using

the phone held in the normal use position, ensure the phone and its

antenna are at least 1 inch (2.5 centimetres) from your body when

transmitting.

Data Operation

When using any data feature of the phone, with or without an

accessory cable, position the phone and its antenna at least 1 inch

(2.5 centimetres) from your body.

Approved Accessories

Use of accessories not approved by Motorola, including but not

limited to batteries and antenna, may cause your phone to exceed

RF energy exposure guidelines. For a list of approved Motorola

accessories, visit our website at

www.Motorola.com

RF Energy Interference/Compatibility

Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to RF energy

interference from external sources if inadequately shielded,

designed, or otherwise configured for RF energy compatibility. In

some circumstances your phone may cause interference.

UG.GSM.E550.book Page 9 Friday, August 13, 2004 3:29 PM

10 - Safety and General Information

Facilities

Turn off your phone in any facility where posted notices instruct you

to do so. These facilities may include hospitals or health care

facilities that may be using equipment that is sensitive to external

RF energy.

Aircraft

When instructed to do so, turn off your phone when on board an

aircraft. Any use of a phone must be in accordance with applicable

regulations per airline crew instructions.

Medical Devices

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation

of 6 inches (15 centimetres) be maintained between a handheld

wireless phone and a pacemaker.

Persons with pacemakers should:

•ALWAYS keep the phone more than 6 inches (15 centimetres)

from your pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.

•NOT carry the phone in the breast pocket.

•Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise the potential

for interference.

•Turn OFF the phone immediately if you have any reason to

suspect that interference is taking place.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with somehearing aids.

In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your

hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the

manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately

shielded from RF energy. Your GP may be able to assist you in

obtaining this information.
